  19. That was the idea. Gabby became a companion of the Twelfth Doctor, while Cindy and Cleo continued travelling with the Tenth. Noob went on to become an adventurer in his own right, inspired by Ten. Could still happen..
  20. I have no further info on this! 🙃 All I can tell you is that four scripts featuring a crossover with the 10th and 12th Doctors were written in 2018 for the wonderful @giorgiasposito to draw and it continued Gabby, Cindy, Noobis and Cleo’s arcs. It’s a “missing” #DoctorWho story!
